Why are all the posts in that thread deleted?

I don't know, but the cut off problem is still happening in the new thread.

 

[Praetor]

It doesn't so much as cut off for me but start overlapping messages after a certain limit.

Reading this thread.

I have my settings at threaded, 100x per page. I temporarily deleted my .mozilla folder and verified this was happening without any additional extensions or old cookies. This is happening for me on linux with Firefox 2.0.0.4



Edit!
Just loaded the same page using IE6 in wine and it loads fine. Must be a firefox issue.

 

[Synomenon]

Happening to me as well. FireFox v2.0.0.4, Vista Ultimate x64. Happens in all really long threads like the one in OT where the guy peed on his boss.

 

[Accipiter22]

So is this ever getting fixed or are threads just going to cut off at like 120 posts forever????

For stylish/greasemonkey users, this appears to fix it and I haven't noticed any ill effects:
#Forums.Box { overflow: visible !important; }

that script didn't work for me at all...what did you put for included pages?

GM_addStyle("#Forums.Box { overflow: visible !important; }");

I've had the same issue. My post per page count was set to 100, I lowered it to 80 and that resolved the problem until this morning. It's at 60 now and I haven't had a problem again, but if what's been said in this thread is true, then it's more a matter of page length than number of posts.

Regs: I saw that issue using IE on a laptop with a 1024x768 resolution. I haven't seen it at higher resolutions, but hiding and re-showing the sidebar was a temporary fix for me.

this is interesting, it appears to differ depending on the user...what resolution are you using? Because for me that thread is completely fine.

I have the same problem. e.g. try this link (threading view). Just hold down scroll-down, it gets cut off pretty soon.

IE and Opera don't seem to have the problem but I'm thinking FF does because it's compliant with some property FuseTalk isn't setting properly while IE and Opera ignore it...

On Linux/Firefox it repeats the same image over and over like a leak, really annoying too. On Windows the page just ends there.

hg403: Cool fix, thanks.

Actually here's something that works better for me. With your fix, "linear", "branch", etc. go off the page on my screen.

(Stylish)

@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);
@-moz-document domain("forums.anandtech.com") {
#Forums.Box { height: 100% !important; overflow: hidden !important; }
}

This also fixes the scrollbar-at-the-side problem which caused scrolling issues.

It depends on post length, not posts per page. I had 20 posts per page and when I tried to copy the contents of my thread twice over, it really screwed up that whole first page.

This is at least partially related to a potential firefox issue.

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=362331

We are still workin towards a fix.

 

[daveshel]

We're blaming this on Firefox? I didn't have this problem before the Fuse Talk upgrade.

I have the same and similar problems and i'm using IE7, no FF

Alot of time's when I hit the next page button, or a page # button, it returns what appears to be a blank screen, but if I scroll down it's just a large blank area before the first post

And I also get pages that seem to be horizonally compressed, with the text scrunched down to about 20-30 characters, like nested quotes with a large blank area to the right.

 

[CrystalBay]

Heh ,,, It works fine for me in IE7, but not F.Focs

In the *nix forum there are probably at least 20 or more individual threads going on. At least enough for 2 pages.

But randomly only the top 10 threads show up. Anything older then those 10 dissappear from the page., there is no page 2 there is no way to show that these threads exist.

Although occasionally I'll visit it and then all the posts show up.

I think it's having a huge negative effect on that forum since nobody can see or continue the threads.


Here is a screenshot with all the threads showing.

Again after I log in and the page refreshes. Only 10 threads.

Just to add to this, when reading a thread in OS, it cuts off in the same place all the time.
Hiding the side bar, it still gets cut, but at a different place, also always the same.
No issues at home, like someone said, maybe related to resolution?

With the side bar off, obviously more can fit on the screen at once, and the cut off happens further down in the post, with my 24" at home, I'm running at 1920 width as opposed to 1024 here, and I can't reproduce it at all back home.

I see the same problem of all posts not showing up on long pages with FF. A workaround is to go to "Topic Tools" and select "Print this topic". You'll at least get to read the whole thing.

A fix went in for this yesterday. I have tried 300+ post threads with 100 per page and have no issues with threads being cut off in the latest FF. Example? My gut tells me this is a FF rendering issue as none of the styles have a length limit imposed ( at least not to my knowledge)

 

[Praetor]

Negative. Still doesn't work for me.

 

[sisq0kidd]

How do you do more than 100 messages per thread? I use to have it on 500

Seems to work for me now, only saw the issue in one thread, but that one is working now

 

[Praetor]

I guess I spoke too soon. I checked a thread yesterday and I got the same thing. Checking a few threads this morning and it works. Yay!

Seems to be fixed for me too, although I do miss having the 500 posts per page option. Thanks for everything you do! :beer:

 

[upsciLLion]

Fixed here as well with 100 messages per page.
